We would like to say a huge thank you to Kiki, the Diabetes team and all the wonderful staff on the Children’s ward. They made us feel very welcome, all were lovely and very professional. Special thanks to Page and Angela on Ward B7 for their enthusiasm and sage advice. What a wonderful team!
My husband and I want to thank all the incredible staff. The care and support they provided us, as first-time parents, was exceptional. We want to make special mention to Julie and Theresa, who treated us with kindness and took the time to ensure we had everything we needed. Every single person we encountered during our stay was amazing and we couldn’t fault anything about the experience!
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) My baby was in NICU for almost five weeks and it was not an easy journey. My husband and I would really like to express our deepest gratitude to all the staff and nurses for their hard work, kindness and patience, especially to Nurses Jilly, Sue, Lauren, Laura, Lucy, Bianca, Joy from room 4, Joy from room 6, and Kayla. My husband and I truly appreciate all your help and comfort during those hard times in NICU. You made us feel that we were not alone and guided us, especially as first-time parents. Your passion for your profession is incomparable.
Surgical Assessment and Review Area and Ward A5, Christchurch Hospital I came into hospital with suspected appendicitis. I was greeted at the door and walked to the right place and then seen by some amazing people including Dr Jack Vojak. He talked me through the whole process. There was also a nurse named Kokee who joked with me and kept me calm as I was feeling rather nervous. The whole experience was made better by all the people involved.
Emergency Department (ED), Christchurch Hospital I would like to highly commend the staff in ED. My wife came in with a cardiac problem. While in the ED she had an event and the service from the staff was outstanding. Not only did they attend to my wife in an efficient and professional manner, but they also noticed that I was very distressed. They showed me an impressive amount of courtesy and support. Sadly, I can only remember three names. They are Dr Kate, Nurse Felicity and Social Worker William. These three were accompanied by a number of other staff who were just as brilliant. Finally, I cannot find enough words to express my gratitude for the treatment my wife received.

Thank you so much for your advice. Your wisdom, input and considered suggestions for mental health settings have supported Specialist Mental Health Service (SMHS) nurses to reduce infection risks, contain ward outbreaks and manage the environments for consumers and staff alike. We really appreciate your skills, knowledge and quick responses.
Excellent care given by staff.
